used to just be msnbc and nbc ...

used to just be msnbc and nbc editing audio/video clips...add abc to that list i guess.

it's also weird that people have not yet been able to understand the difference between auto and semi-auto

Even if she does what was her point? Even if she was right that it was an automatic weapon, is she trying to bolster the argument for more gun control? That is where the ignorance comes in because you can't ban something than is already banned (essentially) and obtain an automatic weapon even with the holy grail of a "universal background check." I think she knew exactly what she was doing by telling this whopper by saying it was an automatic weapon even though she knew it wasn't. Must be one of those AK-47s that her husband proclaimed isn't the problem in Chicago.

Reading the story, it looks like they took out other stuff too. That said, should the news report what someone said exactly or should they report what's true? That's a hell of a choice. Editing her comment increased the odds that a viewer would be less-misinformed. It also prevented her from being 'caught' making a mistake.

Statistically, dementia is one of the greatest defeatable threats to my loved ones. The solution is to fund charities that hunt for a cure. This will also reduces the total amount of my family that has to go through it. I'm basically racing against odds.

Our Media at work.. Michelle Obama misquoted.

For the broadcast, ABC’s Good Morning America producers edited out the First Lady’s “automatic weapon” line.

She was standing out in a park with her friends in a neighborhood blocks away from where my kids grow – grew – up, where our house is. She had just taken a chemistry test. And she was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need. I just don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first.

In the web edition of the story, however, Michelle Obama appears to be quoted in full:

“She was standing out in a park with her friends in a neighborhood blocks away from where my kids…grew up, where our house is. She had just taken a chemistry test. And she was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need,” she said. “I just don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first.”

It is hard for sheeple to comprehend the difference between semi- auto and full auto UNLESS it is referencing their welfare checks or free government giveaways. Even then they think that semi is just half of their monthly take and full is what they justly deserve.

I'm just a spoke in the wheel but not a big deal.
